Streaming Media Triple Threat and What it Means to Matter

Streaming Media Readers ChoiceEach year, Streaming Media magazine identifies the one hundred companies that matter most in online video. Last week, Elemental was named to the 2012 Streaming Media 100 for the second consecutive year. Streaming Media’s panel of judges separated the stalwarts from the upstarts, identifying the companies "that continue to innovate and grow not just their customer base but the industry as a whole." To be certain, it’s an honor to be included, but what does that mean – to matter?

To the readers, it is a reminder: vote. The power to rank and recommend these companies lies in the Streaming Media Reader’s Choice Awards. Vote before October 15, and remember to confirm your vote when Streaming Media sends an email verification. Elemental is nominated for four awards including:

  • Encoding Software (Enterprise Class)
  • Hardware Encoder (On Demand)
  • Hardware Encoder (Live)
  • Multi-Screen/OTT Solution for Content Publishers

To the editors, it is a map. These broadcasters, content publishers, and related service providers build the world of sports, news and entertainment media. All roam the streaming video landscape. 

To the nominee, it is a cheer. Elemental wins with each customer we connect to next. With that, we hope to see you next at Streaming Media West, October 30-31, in Los Angeles, where we will be speaking about Best Practices for Migrating to a Cloud-Based Encoding Platform (like Elemental Cloud). If you can’t make it to the show, perhaps we can meet at another industry event coming up soon.

Finally, to this blog, your attention makes it matter. Thank you.

Elemental <3 Customers, Adds Two Impressive Industry Veterans

Elemental candy heartsAs it is Valentine’s Day here in the United States, we thought it would be appropriate to express our affinity for the two newest members of the Elemental sales team: David Godfrey and Manuel De Peña. David joins Elemental as Vice President of Sales in Asia while Manuel will serve as Director of Sales for the Eastern US.

We can’t tell you how excited we are for these two to be on board. David brings with him more than 20 years of executive sales, marketing and operations experience as well as a deep knowledge of the broadcast, digital media and communications industries in Asia-Pac. He comes to us after spending time at both NDS and Tandberg. Most recently, he co-founded Imaginasia, facilitating sales of products from around the world into media and entertainment markets in Asia.

Manuel, meanwhile, boasts more than a decade of sales experience in the field of streaming video and compression. He joins us from Cisco after holding executive sales positions at both Inlet and Anystream.

These additions are a testament to the momentum Elemental continues to build and we are extremely fortunate to have attracted such top tier sales professionals. Yes, we think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
